Some good stuff post-game. Henrik Lundqvist said goalie coach Benoit Allaire was telling him all day to get a shutout; and that he was yelling for somebody to get back when he saw Girardi go in deep in overtime. John Tortorella said Nassau Coliseum “sucks” and insisted there’s no rivalry. Derick Brassard said he had never played in a game like this before (and, since he played in Columbus, of course he hadn’t).

I thought for sure the islanders were winning tonight. The rangers are a hard team to figure out. They play like this for the remainder of season, they might make noise in the playoffs. I’ve been watching hockey for a long time. Goalie gets hot, look out. Lundqvist gets hot, rangers could make some noise in the playoffs.

Despite less than 8 minutes, looks like John Moore listens, learns, and follows coaching ‘advice’ as to what they want of him. Kreider’s a BC guy with a ton of natural talent and speed, but can’t seem to grasp the directions. Sup wit dat?

What a heaping pile of dump this team is without Henrik…I mean, has their even been a team in the history of sport that relied on one guy so heavily? Henrik should take a pay cut just we can sign someone to hold his jockstrap…

They may have relied on their goaltender a bit much in this game, but they apparently did enough to neutralize the Islander scoring machine headed up by Tavares. In a goalie vs goalie duel, I’d take Hank over anyone.

Good times find ways to win. The Rangers found a way to get 2 points tonight in OT… Lets also be happy this game did not get decided by the Bettman Breakway Contest.

“His performance? You want to know what I thought about his performance? His performance? Are you asking me what I thought about his performance? What kind of a question is that? His performance? You want to know what I thought about his performance? Geezus! What did I think of his performance! Is that what you’re asking me, what did I think of his performance?

one of the reasons you have a Hank is that if the other teams plays better, gets more shots, there’s a chance it’ll be fine. Tonight, it was fine. And tonight we see, while he struggled earlier in the season, he is rounding into form at the right time. Why, he may have a shutout or two left in him this season.

Loved McDonagh tonight. He really looked a lot more solid and physical in front of our net, something that seemed to be really missing this season. He seems to thrive in these situations of intense minutes. Which is great come playoff time. Hopefully Staal will be back by then which will really solidify one of the already best defenses in the league.

Cal,
you should contribute more often, I know it is very intimidating around here, but never fear, the boneheads, as they call themselves , are just that, afraid of complexity, prone to idiotic confessions as to their credentials, and the addictions to the Hockey Game – I cannot explain it. How a Lawyer, Accountant, a “Doctor” and a Nurse get to all of these confessions. If I confess, it is only in jest.
